Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Did you know that frogs drink water through their skin? Or that some lizards can detach their tails to escape predators? In this exciting, interactive class, young animal lovers will not only learn about reptiles and amphibians—they'll also get to meet real, live animal ambassadors on camera!

Using a fun, colorful PowerPoint filled with photos and videos, we’ll explore:
✅ The key differences between reptiles and amphibians
✅ How they grow and change (from tadpoles to frogs, eggs to snakes!)
✅ Their habitats, survival skills, and special adaptations
✅ Some of the coolest and strangest species around the world!

🎥 LIVE Animal Guests:
During the session, learners will get to see real reptiles or amphibians up close as I introduce some of my own animal ambassadors! (Examples may include a snake, turtle, frog, or lizard, depending on availability.)

Learners will also have the chance to ask questions, share their favorite reptiles or amphibians, and test their knowledge with a fun quiz at the end!

Class Structure:
1️⃣ Welcome & Introductions

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from University of New Orleans
Hi! I’m Tanee Janusz, a passionate environmental educator and experienced animal keeper with over 25 years in the field. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Earth & Environmental Sciences and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Conservation Education. As a certified Master Naturalist and board member for my local chapter, I love sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for wildlife and conservation.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a zookeeper, environmental educator, and education specialist at zoos, aquariums, nature centers, museums, and universities. Now, I run my own animal education outreach business, where I introduce students to my incredible ambassador animals—many of whom are rescues or owner surrenders.

In my classes, students get to meet and learn about fascinating creatures up close, fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world. And if you’re wondering—yes, my favorite animals are axolotls and snakes!

I can’t wait to share my love of wildlife with your child!
